The 567s in Both the A and the B are in good shape. after sitting for 4 years they were just a little grumpy to wake up. as of today they were no longer letting out any large amounts of smoke anymore

This is CRAP! I subscribe to MRVP+ for every, including this year, and now I have to subscribe to something else. I’m seriously thinking about canceling already of my connections to Model Railroader.

In reply to John Rice. J B Hunt would probably be the ones purchasing BNSF, not the other way around. JBH has the leverage by shear volume. Were they to tell BNSF to take a hike there would be bloodshed in Omaha and the man we called "Rat Face", Able, would be the one shedding the blood...

Having worked for a Buffet owned company (a utility, Pacificorp, now owned by Buffet’s Mid-America Energy Holdings Corp, MEHC) as long as things are not in sustained negativity, Buffet will be happy. He is the one that said, “Utilities (and Railroads) won’t make you rich but they will keep you rich…” And as long as BNSF does what J B Hunt tells them to do, that will continue to happen… Many, if not all of the other class 1’s all wish they were privately held as well, then they could tell Wall Street to go do something physically impossible!

In reply to Mark Reiter. I don't think your beloved Democrats are any better off. People are starting to think and act with their pocketbooks and politicians of any ilk would be wise to pay attention and listen to what they have to say irregardless of political ideology! Right now the political climate would say the Democrats are the ones who should be looking over their shoulders...

Very nice!! The color scheme is great and the lettering on the front looks really sharp.

That looks like a unit that the original New Haven people would have predicted as a “futuristic” locomotive. What a great looking locomotive!
